I'll forget
(the exact words,
too many to remember)
(I wish I wouldn't,
I want to have you with me
always)
what you said.
I'll forget
(if we shared lunch
or went downtown
or looked at those mushroom overalls,
did I just know you would love them,
or did you tell me?)
(will I ever be able
to tell people
about the days
I know we spent together,
but can't remember)
what we did.
But I'll never forget
(reluctance)
(stubborn)
(sad,
not like I'm used to,
I can't tell you
the way the tears are always there
the way my heart is never as light as it was)
(helpless,
I'm not good at helpless,
but I'm not a doctor,
not a scientist,
can't drive you there,
can't pay for it,
I can just try to make you smile one more time)
(happiness,
it comes in bursts,
bubbles coated in sad,
but sometimes I forget
and it's just you me and
snow or dirt or leaves or movies or walking or eating)
(I better
never forget)
the way you made me feel
(you made me feel)
